IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions:
•Read all instructions before using the freezer.
•DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
•Before you throw away your old freezer: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
•Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
·Remove the exterior and interior packing.
·Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
3 Storage Baskets
2 keys
1 Instruction Manual
1 Plastic Scraper
1 Plastic Control Panel Cover
·Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
·Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installation of Your Freezer
·This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or
·Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded.
·Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
·Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.
·Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.
·Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center.
·After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2~3 hours before placing food in the freezer compartment.
